Yikes!

Goddamit.

I'm out of Scrubs episodes on my DVR and I don't know what to do with myself.

Homework, I guess.

What the hell?

My earlobe hurts. What's that supposed to mean?

Goodbye Curtis Manning

My roommate Ben finally got around to watching the second-half of the 4-hour 24 premiere. Even though I'd already seen it, I watched part of it with him.

Here's his take on watching Jack put a bullet in Curtis Manning, our favorite non-Jack ass-kicker on the show.

the following takes place between 6:00 p.m. and 6:03 p.m.:

6:00 - i'm sitting on my couch eating a sandwich, excited that jack and curtis are cruising the streets of LA in a black SUV. my mind is wandering a bit, thinking about the misadventures that they would be able to get into together, after they retire from CTU and have a spin-off sitcom together (which i think i've told you about).

6:01 - curtis has a strange look on his face when jack tells him that assad is helping them try to find fayed. he almost looks as if he just watched jack take a dump and then eat his own crap. he expresses what appears to be intense disdain for assad and says that he needs to pay for what has happened in the past. jack says that is not an option, that they are working together on this operation. curtis says "we'll see about that".

6:02 - i say, out loud to josh, "look at curtis, going all rogue agent on us".

6:02 - josh watches the tv.

6:02 - something feels wrong. i say, again out loud "wait..."

6:02 - out loud "no.."

6:03 - out loud "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!! FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" then i just sat there and waited an hour and a half for the inevitable.

josh had to go out and run a quick errand during the latter part of the episode, and when he returned, i was doubled over, leaning on the coffee table with my head in my hands.

curtis manning, you will be missed. possibly by none more than me. when edgar died last year, it was an outrage. why is no one talking about this?? i might have to devote some serious time wasting to the preservation of curtis's memory.

Favorite Things to Never Say on Hebrew School Report Cards

"Your child has exhibited no signs of a personality this semester."

"You child is about as useless as a poop-flavored lolly pop."

"Your kid might actually learn something if you stopped picking him up an hour early to take him to baseball practice."

"There isn't enough ritalin in the world."

"Your kid is very social. Too social. Please advise him that he may not remove his pants during Hebrew school."

"Your child can't read Hebrew, doesn't know Abraham the patriarch from Abraham Lincoln, and doesn't know any of the prayers. But it's ok... He'll have his bar mitzvah, and you'll feel like you got your money's worth."

"What's more important: your Lakers season tickets or your kids Jewish education? Nevermind. Don't answer that."

He May Be Looney Tunes, But I Love It

Yahoo! Sports' Charles Robinson says that the Bears are going to the Superbowl.

Unlike last season or in 2001, this has been the best team in the conference from start to finish … even with the bumps along the way. It has secured home-field advantage all the way to the Super Bowl. The coaching staff has remained intact. The roster added talent in the offseason and lost none. And Grossman – for better or worse – has been healthy all year long. If this team can't win a conference championship now, when will it?

From Charles Robinson's lips to God's ears.
